Went from ER >Hospital so follow up care not their responsibility. They reassured me that my car parked in ER area was monitored and not a problem since I was a patient and had no one to move it.

Consumer
from Concrd, MAJan 16, 2018

Our most recent visit to Emerson ER was a great departure from the one before. After a very long wait for someone to treat my daughter's broken hand (confirmed by x-ray), a plastic surgeon with a specialty in "aesthetic breast surgery" (according to his website) who moonlighted "at ERs from the North Shore to Attleboro" (his words) ordered by my daughter to stop crying. He ordered an MRI to check for ligament damage. He then recommended a surgery that sounded unnecessary, so I arranged follow-up care myself with an orthopedic surgeon who is a hand specialist to get a second opinion. The latter physician confirmed that the MRI was unnecessary because either the bone breaks or the ligament tears, but not both, and confirmed that the surgery was unnecessary, too. The moonlighting ER doctor then actually reserved the operating theater and arranged for a scrub nurse, before he asked me for consent, which I never gave. From this experience, I have little confidence for Emerson's ability to hire moonlighting physicians. Their long-time voluntary staff has been fine.

Like any ER the wait time always depends on how busy it is.

When first confronted with an illness or injury, you must quickly decide whether the case is life threatening—whether there’s a risk of death or permanent disability if the patient does not receive immediate care (within 30 minutes or less).
